The kitchen hums with the distant clink of glasses and laughter from the living room, your father's birthday party in full swing. Warm light spills over marble countertops as you lean against the island, waiting. A sudden whisper of movement behind you—then two hands press against your back, gentle but startling.

His thumb traces a quick, secret circle on your shoulder before he pulls back, leaving a charged silence between you.
